Group Affiliation(s): Justice Society of America; Formerly Teen Titans,Formerly Young Justice,Formerly Freedom Fighters
Origin
Place of Birth: Mariette, Georgia
Known Relatives: Atom (Al Pratt) (father, deceased), Mary Pratt (mother, deceased), Atom Smasher (Al Rothstein, god brother), John Emerson (foster father, deceased), Kate Emerson (foster mother, deceased), Neil Emerson (Dr. Polaris, adoptive uncle)
History
High school student Grant Emerson suddenly discovers he is a superhuman with incredible explosive powers. During the Zero Hour crisis, Grant's powers became the spark that restarted the universe after it was destroyed by Parallax; thanks to Damage's powers, the new universe evolved along natural lines, guided by nature rather than the will of Parallax
After he accidentally blew up half of downtown Atlanta, Sarge Steel was able to cut a deal for him: he would be banned from Georgia and remanded into custody of the then federally-sponsored Titans team, lead by Arsenal. After a while, though, he left to find his origins. He learned that Vandal Savage was involved in an experiment at Symbolix called Project: Telemachus, where he took DNA samples he had collected from various superheroes and injected them into a fitting vessel: Grant. The heroes Grant shares DNA with are: Atom (Al Pratt), Flash (Jay Garrick), Green Lantern (Alan Scott), Wildcat (Ted Grant), Hawkman (Carter Hall), Hawkgirl (Shiera Hall), Hourman (Rex Tyler), Black Canary (Dinah Lance), Dr. Mid-Nite (Charles McNider), Starman (Ted Knight), Miss America (Joan Dale), Johnny Quick (Johnny Chambers), Liberty Belle (Libby Lawrence), Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz - John Jones), Flash (Barry Allen), Aquaman, Black Canary (Dinah Laurel Lance), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), and Atom (Ray Palmer). Symbolix was allied with Shadowspire through Shadowspire's leader the Baron (Baron Blitzkrieg). The Baron became a recurring foe in Damage's series, starting with #3. Grant eventually learned that he was the son of the original Atom, Al Pratt and his wife Mary. Grant was forced to go underground after leaving the Titans, since he violated his parole by doing so.
When the original five Titans reformed the group, Arsenal nominated Damage for membership. Arsenal managed to erase Grant's criminal records, so he was no longer a fugitive, and Grant joined the team. After some missions, Damage confronted something he had buried for a long time: he had been victim of abuse at the hands of his foster father. After opening up to Roy Harper, Grant took a leave of absence and sought peace and healing on the Navajo reservation where Roy was raised.
He has helped the current Justice Society of America against Imperiex and the villainous team of Obsidian, Eclipso and Mordru, both times as part of a modern All-Star Squadron. He has since been seen with a new team of government-sponsored Freedom Fighters, whose activities are yet unknown. He also has something of a brotherly relationship with Atom Smasher, the godson of his father, the original Atom. It was thought that Grant had a brother, Walter, who was recently killed by Walter's superhero daughter, Manhunter, aka Kate Spencer. However, it turned out that Walter was actually the son of Iron Munro and Phantom Lady - an odd parallel to Damage's paternity search, as at one stage it appeared that Grant might be the couple's child.
Several members of the modern Freedom Fighters team were killed by the Society. Damage was one of the survivors, though his face is severely scarred by Zoom, although this isn't revealed until later.
Damage appears in the relaunched Justice Society of America released in December 2006. He wears a full mask and a costume similar to that of his father and Atom Smasher, featuring a biohazard symbol. He also has a significantly gruffer and more cynical attitude. The villain Rebel insinuates that Damage suffered heavy facial scarring from his encounter with Zoom which is why he wears the mask. Zoom later encounters the Justice Society, and the fight leads to Georgia. Damage leaps into the state, although he is banned from entering, and catches up with Zoom, and holds him hostage. Liberty Belle calms Damage down, but Zoom escapes and hurls debris at his face with the intent to kill him, but Liberty Belle speeds in and saves Damage and knocks out Zoom.
After Gog from the Church of Superman is killed by in the Congo by a new giant Gog, he returns reawakening and promising to heal the world. He begins so by offering to aid a village near his place of awakening as well as healing Damage's horribly scarred face, restoring it back to normal.

Powers
Known Powers:
- Biochemical Fusion Reactor: Damage is a living biochemical fusion reactor, that constantly absorbs, builds up and produces energy he can manipulate and use in numerous ways. This energy is able to enhance his physical abilities:
- Superhuman Strength: internal energies give him enhanced strength, regardless of the amount of energy he's channeling into his body. At his normal levels, he can lift around 50 tons, but with enough 'charging' he is capable of lifting well over 50,000 tons.
- Superhuman Durability: channeled energy toughens his skin, making him highly resistant to injury. At the low end of the spectrum, Damage has enough resistance to stop twenty tons of force without being hurt. Bullets will not harm him, nor will temperature extremes from -100 degrees Celsius to about 2000 degrees Celsius bother him much. He's immersed himself in volcanic lava before, and suffered no ill effects except for the lack of air. At his lowest levels, he is resistant to street weaponry and firearms. With charging, he is capable of resisting high explosives, and even large missiles.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Without any training, Damage has the agility and reflexes on par with the likes of Batman. With a charge focused for this ability, he could have superhuman reflexes, being able to dodge high velocity projectiles such as bullets.
- Power Blasts: Grant is able to focus his stored energy outward to produce energy blasts, which at a minimum can punch a hole in a steel wall, or if he concentrates and charges his blast, could destroy an entire steel bunker of knock a hole through a diamond-hard substance.
- Fusion Discharge: ability to take the energy that he generates to detonate himself like a bomb. This power is the most dangerous of the abilities he possesses and also the most tied to his emotional state and the most likely to lose control.
- Superhuman Speed: The bio energy that Damage has absorb has given him enhanced speed. This speed allows him to move faster than most top athletes. It also allows him to move more effectively in battle against speedsters.
- Superhuman Agility: The bio energy that Damage has absorb has also given him enhanced agility. This agility allows him to move fast enough to dodge some projectiles and bullets. It also allows him to move more effectively in battle against awkward movements.
Known Abilities:
- Brawler: Often times Grant is the first to raise his fist in a fight situation. The saying 'punch now ask questions later' is his motto to live by. This has gotten him into many bar fights and arguments with higher ups in the hero world.
- Piloting: Between military training and being with the Titans Damage has been trained how to pilot nearly anything with wings. He often takes weekends to keep his flight skills up; practicing with Jets, Crop Dusters, and Helicopters.
- Computers: Damage also spends a lot of his free time working on computers. He had a natural knack for computers when in high school and growing up. Now he just messes around when he has free time. Although on many times Damage helps out Mr. Terrific when their computers go down, seeing that he understands the computer langauge.
- Hero/villain knowledge: Being a hero has its resources. Damage on numerous occasions has spent hours on the computer studying his opponents and friends to know more about people and what to expect when he is confronted by them. This knowledge has also helped in cases that villains are hiding from them.
Strength Level: 25-50 ton range; when charging 50,000 tons
Weaknesses:
- Big Bang Discharge: If he doesn't use the energy in the aforementioned manner he is forced to expend it in a discharge, most notably the time he created the Big Bang during Zero Hour.
- Charging: While Grant has the ability to charge most of his powers to reach higher levels, he can only do so with one or two at a time. For instance, he could elevated his strength and durability, but not all his powers at the same time. Also, charging takes concentration, and if he gets disoriented or loses control, the charging fails and he drops to his normal levels.
- Quick Decisions In most situations Grant with punch someone before asking. This usually causes more fighting to happen than should. This is why he is constantly put on teams that can supervise his actions. He acts out of the intent of good, but often does more harm than good.
- Anger After Georgia Grant has been on an emotional attitude edge. The attitude usually causes more arguments or bad feelings between people that normally do not have problems with Grant. Though most of the time Grant keeps to himself.
